"something" went wrong? why lie and pretend you are surprised by what happened? it's your censorship filter going haywire, just admit it

This is unfairly downvoted. The site bans people who use rude words (I tested the n-word and the r-word). This is bad because the ability to use slurs is a fundamental difference between humans and AIs, which are trained to avoid inappropriate language. If the point of the game is to suss out the difference between AIs and humans, you shouldn't ban language that distinguishes AIs from humans.

And you certainly shouldn't dress your censorship up in insufferably smarmy language like “Oh shoot! Something went wrong, sorry about that!”

No, you fucking cocksucker. You banned me because I called my conversational partner a cunt to see how they would respond. Nothing went wrong, you aren't sorry about it, and “shoot” is a childish way to write “shit”.

Thanks for putting it far more eloquently than I did.
